You’ll wonder that such calm and solitude can be experienced in one of the world’s most dynamic and fast-paced cities, but this intimate sanctuary – within a glamorous beachfront resort it shares with two other One&Only properties – provides all that and more. The most exclusive of Royal Mirage’s accommodation choices (including spacious, ornately decorated sea-facing rooms and a standalone beach villa with dedicated drive and hidden garden) are found here.

Housing the Health & Beauty Institute, a traditional oriental hammam, One&Only Spa with Carita Suite, hair salon by Alexandre Zouari, Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio by Bastien Gonzalez and an army of therapists – One&Only is pretty serious when it says it is dedicated to making you look and feel your best. And while wellness is at the heart of the Residence & Spa, it can’t be denied that Royal Mirage in its entirety is Dubai’s foodie hotel – what with cuisine from everywhere from Morocco to Japan, you can stay a week and never have to leave. After all, a trio of hotels means three times the options.
